Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) Cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups White rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Add the uncooked rice and frozen peas and carrots to the crock pot. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 1 hour, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender and cooked.
Once the rice is done, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and let the cheese melt for 5-10 minutes.
Stir the mixture gently to combine the melted cheese evenly throughout.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this hearty and cheesy meal!
